Apple Fitness+ review

Apple Fitness+ is the strongest all-round class app for people already inside Apple's device family. Apple lists 12 workout types, from Strength and HIIT to Pilates, Kickboxing, Rowing and Treadmill Run, plus guided Meditation, with new sessions added every week in lengths from 5 to 45 minutes. Custom Plans pick sessions around your favorite activities, and if you wear an Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3 or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor, your live metrics appear on screen during the class. Classes play in the Fitness app on iPhone, on iPad and on Apple TV, so a living room works as well as a gym floor. The price is the main draw: $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year after a 1 month trial, and Apple extends that to 3 months when you buy an eligible device. The limits are clear too. Apple lists only its own devices, so Android owners cannot use it, and sessions stop at 45 minutes.
